In the smoke-filled room, he dared to look Ye Shaohua straight in the eye for the first time.

Initially, his relationship with Ye Shaohua had been quite good.

It was that photograph which began their gradual estrangement, intentional or not.

In recent days, Lin Ye more than once thought that if Yeshang Chuyang had even hinted at something, he wouldn’t have had to struggle so much.

Ye Shaohua’s voice was calm as she folded her arms and leaned to the side, watching Chu Yun play billiards. "He sought me to establish a relationship, and I told him that the person in the forum’s photo was me, and he said he knew."

Hearing this, the hand Lin Ye held his cigarette with paused momentarily.

Chu Yun gestured for Ye Shaohua to come over and take the next shot, but she paid Lin Ye no further attention.

Lin Ye remained in the same posture, standing in place, even as the cigarette burned down to his fingers without him feeling it.

He felt as though something had carved out a large emptiness in his heart.

"Sister-in-law, I heard you’re at odds with the An Family," a younger member playing pool with Ye Shaohua whispered, warning her, "You should be careful, the An Family made their fortune in some shady business years ago and they have their tricks."

Ye Shaohua chuckled lightly, "No worries."

The young brother thought Ye Shaohua was a bit naive about the world, but then again, if his own family had such a beautiful and talented lady, his parents would surely spoil her rotten; thus, he secretly considered discussing it with Chu Yun.

But to his surprise, the very next day, he saw the heads of the An and Xu families pleading with his sister-in-law.

"Shaohua, look, you and Qingkun are fine. Why don’t we reduce this from a major issue to nothing at all," Old Master Xu didn’t have the commanding presence he did a few days earlier. Smiling, he poured Ye Shaohua a cup of tea. "Xunxun is still young, you could be more understanding and bear with her a bit."

That morning, the court summons were delivered to the An Family.

With comprehensive evidence provided by the lawyers, and even recordings of An Xun, the court immediately arrested her.

Conspiring to commit murder, even if it wasn’t completed, was enough with the overwhelming evidence – not only was An Xun in for a harsh time, but the An and Xu families wouldn’t come out unscathed either.

Ye Shaohua laughed softly, "It’s everyone’s first time being a human, why should I be lenient toward her?"

Old Master Xu showed not the slightest displeasure on his face.

"Yes, yes, what you say is right, Shaohua," Old Master Xu persisted with his enthusiasm as he noticed Ye Shaohua wasn’t going to speak further, "So when will you come by the Xu family for a visit? I..."

Ye Shaohua nodded nonchalantly, "Discuss this matter with my father; I’m busy and must leave now."

Old Master Xu also noticed Chu Yun’s car outside and couldn’t help tremble as he wiped the sweat from his forehead using the napkin on the table. "Of course, take care."

Ye Qingkun sat on Ye Shaohua’s side, appearing rather simple and honest, but inside, he felt extremely refreshed.

After the two had left, An’s father finally looked towards Old Master Xu. "Dad, Chu Yun isn’t that scary. Why do you have to..."

"Chu Yun?" Old Master Xu let out a deep sigh, looking at his son-in-law and realizing he still didn’t know the extent of what An Xun had done. "I went to the court to see an old friend today. Do you know what he told me? The person Xunxun hired someone to assassinate is protected by state secrets. It’s not just Xunxun, both the Xu and An families could be skinned."

The title of a state-protected person could bring the entire family the infamy of treason.

Old Master Xu looked deeply in the direction Ye Shaohua had left.

Clearly, Ye Shaohua was not a tyrannical figure to provoke.

"Forget about Xunxun, now we can only behave with our tails tucked in," his face aged instantly.

"Fourth Brother, the sister-in-law is formidable," a young member admired Ye Shaohua immensely after witnessing the scene.

At the same time, doubts about Ye Shaohua’s identity lingered in his mind.

Being able to resolve the An family’s issue so easily, the sister-in-law’s secrets were surely not few.

Chu Yun ignored him and simply strode forward to open the door, "Uncle Ye, Shaohua."

"Dad, you go ahead to Pear Garden, I’m off to pick up Long Hair." Ye Shaohua checked her phone.

Long Hair had drunk too much, and she went to pick up Long Hair at the airport.

Song Chen never expected that he would see Yeshang Chuyang again.

After that day, An Xun never appeared again, with rumors circulating that she had been arrested for breaking the law.

Song Chen didn’t care, he just dissolved his entanglement with An Xun.

On the last day, the elders of the Yearship Family called him over.

As he prepared to leave, he saw the person who had come to pick up Long Hair—

Yeshang Chuyang.

However, she practically ignored her, simply supporting Long Hair down the stairs.

Song Chen couldn’t describe the feeling of loss that filled him, and involuntarily called out to her, "...Chuyang."

Ye Shaohua paused her steps and looked back at him.

She tilted her body slightly, the corridor’s weak lighting hardly adequate.

Yet Song Chen could still see her face, seemingly softer now, bathed in the dim light.

Not as sharp as before, not forcing others to look away.

Her previous sharpness seemed much more subdued, and she seemed... even more eye-catching than before.

Song Chen stared, momentarily lost in thought.

He knew she might not want to see him again—after all, he was the one who had turned her into the laughingstock of the whole game.
